SPORTS WITHOUT CHARM
Buck Showalter has made it clear that Ryan Flaherty continues to get playing time due to his performance at second base. At .133/.228/.233 on the season, he’s certainly not in the lineup because of his offense. Flaherty’s early season struggles have been often discussed on sports talk radio (when football isn’t discussed) and Twitter (through…

Last season the Orioles brought back their traditional cartoon bird and made the postseason for the first time since 1997. We posted an awesome infographic that broke down the Orioles success by logo and it’s astounding how much better they’ve been with that traditional smiling bird we know and love.
This offseason, I speculated that the Orioles would be more aggressive on the base paths in 2013. Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com wrote an interesting piece on Buck Showalter expecting the Orioles to steal more bases due to a pickoff rule change put into place this year.
Enough with the stupid bubble gum jokes and talk about Adam Jones potentially being overrated in centerfield. The O’s star told Baltimore he’d clean his ish up and on Tuesday night he got the chance to prove it. In the top of the sixth, Carlos Quentin hit a deep fly ball to center field that…
J.J. Hardy is thrilled that April is over. In 112 plate appearances in 27 games, Hardy hit .202/.243/.327 with three homers and 15 RBI. He walked six times and struck out 15. Yikes.
OK. I’ll admit it. I was a little concerned about Chris Davis‘ defense at first base heading into the season. And I was wrong. Case in point: in the top of the fifth on Wednesday night, Davis made a sick diving catch on a George Kottaras line drive for the inning’s first out. Check out…
The guys discuss J.A. Happ‘s scary injury, Brian Roberts latest surgery and discuss some potential trade deadline moves for the Baltimore Orioles. Join Zach, Patrick, Matt and Jabby for this week’s edition of the best sports podcast in Baltimore, the BSR Podcast.
Cue The Pretender. Jim Johnson in the best closer in baseball right now. That’s not a question. It’s a statement.
This question was a no-brainer for me just a mere 24 hours ago. Go get him, Dandy Dan Duquette. But after doing research and looking at what it would take to acquire this 34 yr-old (35 in Dec) second baseman, my feet are as cold as a woman getting ready to marry Tiger Woods. On…
